  Red label is a decent quality low end whiskey, it's quite harsh, best with mixers or in cocktails but a must for any collection

  Red label is not a whisky for starters, people who thought single malt is superior than blended or people who alway compare it with other whiskies in the same series, like black or green or blue. I love it since it represents such a distinct flavour of what a properly blended whisky is: well-balanced, smoky, sweet and vibrant. In this low-price range, it's a good choice for a few of us. Tbh I get bored with all these complex things about single malt, I just want a simple dram that satisfies.

  This has a motor-oil quality to it, and I mean that in a good way

  Similar, in my opinion, to Famous Grouse original except this has a finish/aftertaste like bacon. Maybe I'm too much of an amateur to write reviews, but that's my two cents worth. I like bacon, but not in my scotch. To give you an idea of what my tastes are, my favorite blend is Great King Street Artist's Blend, and my go to single malt is Glen Fiddich 12.

  Well - I agree with many here that Red Label is the best of the cheaper whiskeys - I ordered a bottle of 60's Red Label - and I kid you not this was truly out of this world - comparable to even Blue Label - it must have matured in the bottle - yes I know what you are thinking......Some have said Black Label is streets ahead of Red and so it is -fabulously good for the money and comparable with many many luxury offerings. Also I hear a few voices for ' once you try Double Black you'll never go back' - I presume you mean double the hangover......

  Tried Red Label after Double Black ... never ever bought Red Label again. Pay more and get something better!

  Not thrilled with the smoky finish. Otherwise, a classic blend. Stands up to water quite well. I like my Scotch with a lot of water, not to cut the taste but because water is good for us.

  It is a good blend, but you have to understand what you are drinking (I believe it is a blend of a peated one one more malty and sweet). Might improve with some water? Try. I think it is a good step to begin understanding what a scotch whisky was, is, or should be. Definitely not a cheap one, though not perfect. More gentle to the head than to the stomach...

  The red label was the first whisky I ever tried I like its spicy nature but no matter how I drink it with water, neat, on the rocks, or with coke I always have a headache the next day

  I have always found the JW Red to be a little rough. Not good value for the price. There are better alternatives for the price.
